The car starts effectively at ≈102% Soh, reported as 100% max. So you don't see the initial rapid degradation, which is normal but alarming. Give it another 6-12 months.

The car is nearly 2 years old.

Hi Aussies.
I have just joined the forum, so not sure on protocols. Can I post a question in this forum, it seems to be unfiltered Aussie content. I'm in Sydney and looking for a supplier of OBD2 plug in widget and a matching Android app to monitor the car. Any recommendations out there ?

Love to know as well picking one up Thursday hopefully.
Have a Vgate Vlinker FS I use for the Tesla. Hope it works with carscanner

If my car is getting efficiencies in the 14.5-17kWh/100km it is fine…under the perspective that my solar/battery system is giving me ‘free’ km, the effect is not seen in effective range and I’ll just note the variation in efficiency but not really try to do anything about it as there are lots of other factors affecting efficiency such as tyre pressure (varies a lot with temperature) and traffic/road conditions.

This is my suggestion in a video, so you can see that I bought and how it works

Hi

I am looking for a spare wheel / tyre and I see an MG4 at a wreckers not far from me, he has a spare tyre / wheel however it looks like it is the 17inch, the MG77 takes a 18inch, will this be an issue if I needed to put this spare tyre / wheel on if I get a puncture ?

I think so but would love to know for sure. How about you pop on around to the wrecker and get them to put it on one of the front wheels (they're the potential problem) to see.
You'd be doing us a community service

If it doesn't, I can suggest the Braumach 18" space saver spare. It's what I eventually got.

Not cheap but comes with everything.

Probably will be an issue fitting over the Brakes. But actual driving wise, shouldn't be a problem the overall diameter of the 17"/18" wheels will be pretty much the same. Due to the tyre profiles. Would he let you try it on, by any chance.

Picked up my new to me MG4 Excite 64 today dealer demo with 16k on clock. Carscanner says 98.2% SOH at 80%

Did 400km drive today. we have a Model 3 and Y, prob drives between them. Suspension not as hard as the M3. Avg 16.5 not bad as hot up here

Yes will try and go see them this week.

 

[clayton4115]

The car is nearly 2 years old.

I also checked with the app carscanner and it also shows 100% SOH.

 

[clayton4115]

I found this online, will it fit the MG4 77 ?

125 x 70 x 18.

18 Inch Factory Wheel.

Suits MK5, MK6, MK7 Golf.

5 x 112 Stud Pattern.

That's very likely to work.

I was looking for something like that but eventually just got the "known works" Braumach.

It'd be good if you still went to the wrecker and found out for sure

However, a space saver is a lot more practical than a full size spare.

Yes I am now in two minds going to the wrecker as I read the full size spare may just fit in the back but then where is the room for the luggage on a long road trip ?

Begs the question regarding a roof rack?

 

[decrep]

Or a trailer?

Yes, we’re thinking of doing a big lap staying at pubs mainly, a small trailer would work so that we could throw in a swag or two as well
